TORNADO® T1-F Rotary Lobe Pump: Reliable and Versatile Solution for Demanding Applications

Key Features and Benefits of TORNADO® T1-F Pumps

The TORNADO® T1-F series is designed to meet the most challenging pumping requirements with advanced features that set it apart in terms of efficiency, durability, and ease of maintenance.

• High-Flow Capacity and Compact Design: Designed to provide high flow rates of up to 1000m3/hr and pressures up to 10 Bar, the TORNADO® T1-F combines powerful performance within a small footprint. This makes it ideal for installations with limited space while meeting demanding industrial flow requirements.
• Versatile Media Handling: The T1-F can handle a wide variety of media, including viscous, abrasive, and chemically aggressive substances, making it suitable for applications across multiple sectors such as wastewater treatment, food processing, chemicals, and oil and gas. Its ability to operate across various orientations and installations adds further flexibility.
• Dry-Run Capabilities and Process Reliability: The robust design of the TORNADO® T1-F allows it to handle upset process conditions without damage, offering dry-run capabilities and operational flexibility that extend its lifespan even under challenging conditions.
• Full Service-in-Place (FSIP®) Design: The T1-F Rotary Lobe Pump features a Full Service-in-Place (FSIP®) design, enabling easy front access for maintenance and inspection. With a front pull-out cover, users can readily access wear parts such as plates, lobes, and seals, simplifying service tasks and reducing downtime.
• NETZSCH Gearbox Security System (GSS): The T1-F is equipped with the NETZSCH Gearbox Security System (GSS), which protects the gearbox from process-side contaminants. An air gap between the mechanical seal and the lip seal creates a physical separation, preventing leakage from contaminating the gearbox and timing gear oil. This system safeguards the pump’s internal components and enhances its operational longevity, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership.
• Efficient and Reliable Operation: With features like high-flow capabilities, a compact footprint, and advanced wear protection, the TORNADO® T1-F is designed for reliability and efficiency in the most demanding applications. Its construction minimizes mechanical stress, allowing for quieter operation with minimal vibration, which reduces maintenance needs and increases overall pump life.
• Temporary and Remote Sites: Ideal for temporary installations or remote sites in industries such as oil and gas or mining, where the ability to quickly relocate the pump provides substantial operational advantages, especially in the sump/pit/lagoon emptying applications.

Applications Across Industries

The TORNADO® T1-F Rotary Lobe Pumps are widely used across industries for their versatility and robust performance.

• Wastewater Treatment: Handles sludge, slurries, and abrasive media, offering consistent performance in challenging wastewater applications.
